  • CNH Industrial, Following the Merger of Fiat Industrial and CNH Global N.V
    Iveco Bus History The history of Iveco in bus manufacturing can be traced back to the early 20th century, when Renault and Fiat introduced their first bus designs in 1906 and 1907 respectively. Founded in 1899 in Turin, Italy, by a group of engineers and investors including Giovanni Agnelli, the first vehicle built by Fiat (Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino) was a car. The firm soon branched out, though, into trucks and buses. In 1903, Fiat produced its first commercial vehicle, and in 1929 a specialist industrial vehicle division, Fiat Veicoli Industriali, was created. In 1933, Fiat acquired OM, a truck, car and farm machinery maker. The company continued developing its passenger and goods vehicle businesses, and in 1966 made a further purchase, that of UNIC, a French manufacturer of trucks. Three years later the automobile, truck, bus and defence vehicle maker Lancia was acquired by Fiat. In 1974, Fiat became the majority shareholder of Magirus Deutz, a German bus, truck and fire equipment manufacturer. The following year marked the birth of Iveco, when Fiat Veicoli Industriali brought together its own and acquired brands under a single entity, taking its name from the initials of the International Vehicles Corporation it created. A majority shareholding in the Czech bus manufacturer Karosa was acquired in 1996 by Renault VI, whose bus division would later be merged with that of Iveco. Renault expanded its bus interests further with the acquisition in 1998 of the French bus and coach manufacturer Heuliez Bus, which became a subsidiary of Renault VI. In 1999, Iveco and Renault merged their bus and coach interests into a single business, Irisbus, which was owned equally by the two partners.

  • Es Renault a Évolué Au Cours Du Temps, Tout Ceci De Façon Succincte Et, Dès Lors, Forcément Approximative
    INTRODUCTION Les articles sur le Ping en entreprise sont habituellement présentés en deux parties : l’une consacrée à l’entreprise support du sport corpo et l’autre à notre discipline, retraçant le passé et le présent du club pongiste qui lui est associée. Avec Renault qui se situe dans le top 10 des entreprises françaises, que ce soit par le chiffre d’affaires ou par les effectifs, aussi par son histoire des plus mouvementée tout au long du 20ème siècle, le bulletin en entier n’y suffirait pas, avec le risque d’écraser ce qui constitue notre propos : parler avant tout du tennis de table en entreprise et surtout faire œuvre de neutralité pour préserver le sport de toute injonction philosophique, politique ou religieuse. Je propose donc d’occulter tout ce qui a constitué des faits de société pour s’en tenir à ce que l’entreprise Renault, par ses employés et dirigeants , a laissé de grandiose à l’histoire industrielle de notre pays et comment l’entreprise créée par les frères Renault a évolué au cours du temps, tout ceci de façon succincte et, dès lors, forcément approximative.. L’ENTREPRISE L’île SEGUIN appelée Billancourt ou le « Paquebot », siège historique de l’usine Louis RENAULT, a été acquise en 1929 et a fermé ses portes le 31 mars 1992, après 70 années de loyaux services et de dur labeur. Il a donc existé une autre adresse durant les 30 premières années, rue Emile Zola, toujours à Boulogne-Billancourt. La dernière voiture produite y fut la Renault Super 5. Le paquebot abrite désormais, à sa proue, la Seine musicale du conseil Général des Hauts-de-Seine.

    Corporate Communications Behind the Wheel: Christmas Delivered Many children across the world will be looking forward to opening their presents on Christmas Day. But just imagine if those gifts could have a lasting and positive impact on their lives throughout the whole year and even beyond. This is exactly what IVECO’s Solidarity Cargo initiative has delivered to a remote part of Brazil. Watch this Christmas episode at: cnhindustrial.com/christmasdelivered_en London, December 19, 2019 IVECO, the commercial vehicles brand of CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI /MI: CNHI), has deep roots in Brazil, with extensive manufacturing presence in the country. And in order to integrate more effectively in the countries and communities in which CNH Industrial operates, the Company and its brands adopt social initiatives that respect both people and the region. In this vein, IVECO inaugurated the Solidarity Cargo project in South America back in 2015 with the aim of helping underprivileged communities in concrete ways. This year Christmas cheer was brought to an isolated corner of Minas Gerais state in northern Brazil, to the poetically named town of Fruta de Leite, literally ‘Milk Fruit’ town. The town’s 6,000 inhabitants, predominantly involved in subsistence farming, were visited not by Santa’s sleigh but by an IVECO Hi-Way truck, laden with educational materials, which will be used in the town’s schools and day care centers. Notebooks, pencil cases, educational games and play equipment were among just some of the 2,000 items which will be put to good use. These items will make a significant difference to their day-to-day lives.

  • Dem Zeitgeist Immer Ein Stück Voraus
    Kurzfassung Renault Design setzt auf Differenzierung Dem Zeitgeist immer ein Stück voraus ?? Eigenständige Designkultur als strategisches Unternehmensziel ?? Konzeptionelle Kreativität stärkt Markenidentität ?? Wegweisende Entwürfe mit zeitloser Formensprache Renault hat ein mutiges und eigenständiges Produktdesign als unternehmerisches Kernziel formuliert und misst ihm in allen Fahrzeugsegmenten – vom kompakten Twingo bis zum luxuriösen Vel Satis – eine hohe strategische Bedeutung zu. „Renault setzt beim Design und in der Konzeption neuer Modelle bewusst auf Differenzierung und Eigenständigkeit“, betont Konzernchef Louis Schweitzer. Wegweisendes Design artikuliert Markenidentität Meilensteine in allen Fahrzeugsegmenten wie der wendige Twingo (Debüt 1992), der familienfreundliche Scénic (Debüt 1996), der praktische Kangoo (Debüt 1997) oder der komfortable Vel Satis (Debüt 2002) brechen bewusst mit dem Design herkömmlicher Modelle und tragen maßgeblich dazu bei, die Renault-Markenidentität „visionär, mutig und mit Herz“ noch prononcierter zu betonen. Als „Créateur d’Automobiles“ gibt sich das Unternehmen nicht mit uniformer Austauschware zufrieden, sondern präsentiert optisch attraktive und konzeptionell eigenständige Produkte. Dabei stehen die Bedürfnisse der Kunden auch für die stilistischen Vorgaben der Designer stets im Mittelpunkt. Im fruchtbaren Austausch zwischen den ästhetischen und den rationalen Kriterien entsteht ein in sich schlüssiges und Marken-typisches Automobil-Design. Die stringente Renault Design-Philosophie findet im
